Yellow Birch

This Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis) is located on the right hand side of the clearest path intersection. It is located in a group of Yellow Birches, which might be my favorite species of birch for their golden hue.

Yellow Birches grow larger than other eastern birches and are one of the largest hardwoods in northeastern North America as they can grow to be 100 feet tall.

Yellow Birches' trunks are curly, translucent, golden-yellow, and are streaked with gray and brown. This species of birch grow in part shade and shade. Similar to other species, they grow in cool, moist soils.
